Greyer days

Greyer Days  

Yes, how awful,

That you must see this through,

Yes, how woeful,

That this phone call is for you. 

Yes, very dim,

That you forgot to pay the bill,

Yes, how terrible,

That your child cannot stay still.

Yes, how silly,

That you'll get your pay next week,

Yet, how ordinary,

How silent, how small, how meek.

Yes, how calm,

But you know your face betrays,

Yet, you say,

I've seen far greyer days. 

-Natasha M.

Just another book

 She sat on the river bank,

A little girl trapped in a book,

Her eyes glued to the pages,

Away she didn’t dare to look.

The area was abandoned,

She found it perfect to read,

The book is about a leader,

Who found it perfect to lead.

Her hair covered her beauty,

But she really didn’t care,

What was without the beauty on the inside?

The outside so bare.

She read the last page,

But didn’t want the book to end,

However, everything that starts finds a finish,

Just around the river bend.

Finally she tore her gaze,

Thinking about the leader,

You’d think just another book would have no effect,

On such a voracious reader.

But the book triggered a part of her,

She never knew she had,

She thought so much about the book,

It would have driven her mad.

But then she went to the library,

And a book caught her eye,

And when she started reading it,

Oh my, oh my, oh my!!

Mother, your love,

It has got mountains, rivers, and the sea shore,

Mother, your life,

Has got so much more in store.

You are the beauty of the earth,                                      

You are the flowing of water

This is my love for you

From your beloved daughter.

You are the whistle of the wind,

The burning of the sun

Your beauty has no bounds

You are the magnificent one.

You are the warmth of the fire

The firmness of the ground

You might not know me for a moment

But I know your love will come around.

Survived

Through the storm of words and hate
She stayed strong and fought against her fate

Through her dark days for the best she strived
And through her cut and bruises she survived

Bleeding through her core and soul
She fought to take back the life they stole

Falling down every time she tried
Against all odds she survived

Stumbling every step she takes
Unseen behind the smile she fakes

To be safe and stay alive
She gave what was needed to survive

When she walked past me

Along with the wind,
I sway and think of her,
I think of how she walked past me,
Her coat lined with soft fur.

She smelled of a sweet scent,
Her lips were rose red,
Her rosy pink cheeks,
She walked like she had a crown on her head.

She had pale but fresh skin,
Big eyes that had a shine,
A light so beautiful,
I wish it was mine.

With her gentle fingers,
She stroked her soft blonde hair,
She looked at me and smiled,
To speak to her, I would not dare.

As gracefully as a peacock,
She walked past me,
She made me sit frozen,
With her youthful beauty. 

If you really knew me

If you really knew me,
You would feel my pain,
My life has led me down,
To this dark and sad lane.

If you really knew me,
You would hear my cries,
Understand my heart,
Torn apart with lies.

If you really knew me,
You would try to feel,
The wounds that I have,
Which have failed to heal.

If you really knew me,
You would try to smell,
The scent of my life,
The story I have to tell.

If you really knew me,
You would be my friend,
My broken and damaged life,
You would try to mend.

The fences

If I look out my window
I see the mountain
Beyond the fences
I hear the river hum

The beautiful flowers of the nature
When the daily market chatter
The grief inside the fences
Doesn't really matter

I see the shiny sparks
I see the bright light
But inside the fences
It's as dark as midnight

The grass looks so green
Outside that fence
But on the inside
The forest gets so dense

Life might seem so dark
The grass looks greener on the other side
But step outside the fences
There is nothing to hide

The fence might be reaching the sky
But you are a free bird
YOU CAN FLY

You were born for a reason

You were born for a reason,

Trust life and push through,

You were born for a reason,

Don’t let it be taken from you.

You were born for a reason,

More than the ordinary,

You were born for a reason,

Your life is going to be an inspiring story.

You were born for a reason,

Take a deep breath before you leap,

You were born for a reason,

You’ll be fine, even if the slope is steep.

You were born for a reason,

A secret safe from all wrong,

You were born for a reason,

The ones who suffer most are really strong.

 You were born for a reason,

When you work from your heart,

You were born for a reason,

Just wait till your journey starts.

You were born for a reason,

You have every right to live on and stay,

You were born for a reason,

today will be a good day.

Far Away

 

So far away right now,

If I could see somehow,

I imagine a breeze,

Among the trees.

So far away right now,

If I could see somehow,

I imagine a land,

Outstretched like a helping hand

So far away right now,

If I could see somehow,

I imagine a bright light,

In the darkness and dawn.

So far away right now,

If I could see somehow,

I imagine a fire,

A fire to admire.

So far away right now,

If I could see somehow,

I see my home,

Where I am free to roam.

The Scent of Home

As the last glimpse of home vanished

The scent came back to me

I could hear the daily chatter at home

Even if the waves clashed noisily on the shore of the sea

Now there is new beginning

A scent I don’t smell

Where I can start again

Even if I fell

My thoughts drift away

To the scent of my home

There is no boundary for my thoughts

They are free to roam

The fireplace roars with fire

The room is filled with light

But in here it is cold

The darkness of the night

The scent is so pleasant

Though the cold has left me so rigid

Just like the winter night at home

When I was a little kid

I smell also the scent of food

The freshly baked bread

Also I feel the soft green pillow

Still lying on my bed

My heart will always belong to the home

Where I spent all these years

Where the scent of home

Washed away all my fears

The Flame

Like the storm inside me

The flame burns strong

Sometimes I am afraid

That I'll go wrong

My life goes on

It'll never stop

Someday my passion

I'm afraid I'll drop

Just that flame

Will lead somewhere

Sometimes I feel

Life is so unfair

Friends

Please hold my hand

Fix my flaws

Be my friend

I don't need an applause

Have a chat

Don't mind my voice

Don't get sad

Or either mad

Share your feelings

Share your fear

Don't be afraid

I'll always love you dear

The Dream

 

She came all dressed in white

She whispered in my ear

It is all right

Suddenly she turned away from me

She opened her wings

And flew so free

Then back again to me she came

With a smile filled with pleasure

She was a creature 

impossible to tame

 Holding me by one hand

She took me, to an untamed land

There were many others just like her

The queen wearing a robe of fur

I drifted past the land of beauty

I named it ‘DREAM’

Then waking up from my dream

With glee I thought of it all day

I will visit this land again

On my bed once I lay

Sunrise

The sky is clear
The stars are not seen
The sun is rising
Where had it been?

The orange and blue sky
Makes it worth to see
Birds are rising and chirping
Flying so free

Sunrise is beautiful
Just feel the great breeze
It will lead your day
Down a path of ease

New Year

We have been waiting so long

To sing this song

On New year’s eve

We shall sit together and pray

It shall be all good now

Now that its New year’s day

Make some resolutions

Follow them all year round

Sleep peacefully

And don’t make a sound

The New year day has come

All the chores are done

Celebrate with family and friends

Go out have some fun

Dad

Dad is brave
Dad is strong
I hope this time
he hears my song

Dad is happy
Dad is young
He heard the song
which I just sung

I love my Dad
And he loves me
I know he is smart
But not more than me

Land of Magic

Once I go to sleep
Into the land of magic, I peep

There are so many things to see
When I reach there, I feel so free

Then sitting under a mango tree
I see an elf dancing with glee

Then three rabbits hop by
And to me, they say "Hi"!

There I see a pretty cottage
It is made from one single page

White as the snow and clean as the sky
The way to go in and out, is very confusing
You can try!

Then in a room, cows are fed
Just then, I find myself in bed

The Clock

We   have    a  clock

It   is   fully red

I   always   keep   it

near       my   bed

The   clock    is   round

I   wake    up

when,

 I   hear  its  sound.

Now   my   dear   clock

is   very   old

I   hold    it   dear,

and   feel    as   if   a    friend   is    near.

My pillow

I love my pillow

it has feathers of two kilos

It has flowers all over,

On its beautiful cover!

It is as soft as cotton

It never smells rotten

Its corners are curved,

It is ready to serve!

Did you hear all this

THIS IS how my pillow is.
